No More Guilt ... All things are NEW!

By Dick Ivey · 2026-08-30

LORD Jesus, I'm so grateful You are able to bring beauty out of the morass of my mistakes. Knowing You have wiped the slate of my past clean and are giving me new strength for today to invest what I have left in serving You.

Please send us new couples who need what we do, and if it pleases You, help us form a Life Group where we can do life together with folks who will become our extended family.

I promise, I am going to do my part to trust You and watch to see what You will do. All I am and hope to be, I offer it to You, for Jesus' sake. Amen.
